A Year - Loudon Wainwright III[00:00:00]
Written by:Loudon Wainwright III[00:00:01]
The only time I've seen[00:00:10]
You was about a year ago[00:00:14]
I was afraid to hold you[00:00:21]
But I wanted you to know[00:00:25]
I touched your tiny perfect[00:00:31]
Hand[00:00:34]
Before I went uptown[00:00:38]
I didn't pick you up because[00:00:42]
I'd have to put you down[00:00:47]
For reasons that don't make[00:00:53]
Much sense and you won't understand[00:00:56]
I've stayed away for your first year[00:01:03]
It's sort of what I planned[00:01:09]
But I've been in your neighbourhood[00:01:14]
Sometimes just blocks away[00:01:21]
I didn't come to visit you[00:01:25]
Because I couldn't stay[00:01:31]
There was a baby on a plane[00:01:36]
Maybe she was two[00:01:44]
And she was smiling at me[00:01:47]
Was not sure what to do[00:01:54]
I've kept my distance from you[00:01:58]
A year's much more than a while[00:02:05]
And so I looked away from her[00:02:09]
Too ashamed to smile[00:02:15]
When I saw you last year[00:02:20]
I knew that there was no mistake[00:02:24]
Amazing things can happen[00:02:31]
Why just look what life can make[00:02:36]
But life can get so hard sometimes[00:02:42]
Some feelings can't be tamed[00:02:49]
And people get so angry[00:02:53]
Frightened and ashamed[00:02:59]
You've been a sort of secret for a year[00:03:04]
I've told but few[00:03:11]
Although I'm sure that where you are[00:03:15]
So many must love you[00:03:21]
And I've passed by your window[00:03:26]
But haven't dared look in[00:03:34]
Although I know I'd love you too[00:03:37]
I'm too scared to begin[00:03:42]
